AR400 is often used where high put on resistance in wanted as in digger blades and buckets, mining equipment, and heavy equipment. Much like AR450 and AR400, AR500 metal is a particular sort of abrasion resistant metal. It is a excessive-carbon steel alloy that provides greater impact and sliding abrasion resistance by comparison. However, this increase in energy and abrasion resistance will make the steel much less malleable.

How much does a sheet of ar500 steel cost?

You can drill through AR500 steel with a drill press and a carbide tipped masonry bit. That’s right, carbide bits and/or end mills.
